Easy

Deep Frying

5 minutes

14 minutes

2 servings

Ingredients

½ cup Sour cream

½ cup Buttermilk

½ cup Sugar

1 large Egg

½ teaspoon fine Salt

2 cups All purpose Flour

¾ teaspoon Baking soda

Dash ground Nutmeg

Vegetable oil for frying

Icing sugar for dusting, or cinnamon sugar for coating

Method

Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, sugar, egg and salt together

Sift together flour, baking soda and nutmeg and add to sour cream mixture, stirring just to blend. Let dough sit while heating oil

Heat 2 inches (5 cm) of oil in a high-sided pot to 350 °F (180 °C), measured on a fryer or sugar thermometer

With a small ice cream scoop or with a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough carefully into oil. Let cook until doughnuts are a deep brown on one side, about 4 minutes, before turning and cooking to the same color on the other side (often they turn themselves over when they are cooked on one side!)

Remove doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel

Let doughnuts cool 10 minutes, then sift icing sugar on top and serve, or toss in cinnamon sugar while warm
